Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 555 Sima Yi's Ingenious Plan
At this time in Xuzhou, Cao Pi heard that Dianwei and Zang Ba had fled back to Chang'an safe and sound, and his face turned green with anger. Are you going to kill Dian Wei and Zang Ba? How did things turn out like this now? Hmph, the cooked ducks are flying, do you still have the face to come to see me?"

Deng Zhan shivered all over, then knelt down and said, "My lord, the general is guilty. It's all because the general underestimated the combat power of the two thieves, Dian Wei and Zang Ba. This time, the general dispatched 120 first-class assassins one after another. , but I didn't expect that the two of them were wearing armor and fully armed, and there was a battalion of soldiers with them. This battalion of soldiers should be the elite sent by Zhao Yun. They were killed by him, and only two and a half people escaped."

"Why is it called two and a half?" Cao Pi frowned and asked doubtfully.

"Oh, that's right. Originally, three people escaped, but one of them died of excessive blood loss not long after escaping. In this way, it is equivalent to only two escaping, three and two on average. For a moment, so the general will say that it is two and a half.”

"It turned out that Zhao Yun had already sent people to meet him. It seems that Liu He still attaches great importance to Dian Wei and the others. Since the other party sent so many people, your failure is justifiable, but this way, We have two more great enemies, plus Zang Ba is alive, so the former Taishan bandits will pose a threat to us. Once they rebel, we will be in trouble. Therefore, it seems that we should preemptively strike and eliminate them first. Let's talk about this team."

Cao Pi frowned, and then he was thinking about what excuse he should find to get rid of these Taishan thieves.

At this time, the guards suddenly heard the report, saying that it was Sima Yi who asked to see him.

When Cao Pi heard this, he was overjoyed. He laughed and said, "It's great that Sima Zhongda is here. He has always been resourceful, and he must have a way to solve this problem for me."

Before Cao Pi appointed Sima Yi to preside over Cao Cao's funeral, which made the whole funeral very successful and smoothly, which also showed Sima Yi's ability, so Cao Pi used this as an excuse afterwards to represent Sima Yi as Dong Cao, General Anxi.

While speaking, I saw Sima Yi coming in front of him and saluting Cao Pi: "My lord, Yi heard that you led people to hunt down Dian Wei and Zang Ba before and failed. He knew that our army would face a catastrophe in the near future, so why do you want to kill Dian Wei and Zang Ba?" Come to see the lord, hoping to help the lord resolve the disaster."

"Huh? I don't know why our army is in such a catastrophe? Zhongda, don't make such a joke." Cao Pi was shocked when he heard this, but he still couldn't believe what Sima Yi said was true, so That's why I said so.

Sima Yi said slowly: "My lord chased and killed Dian Wei and Zang Ba before, and now these two people have taken refuge in Duke Qin, presumably Lord Qin will find a way to vent his anger on these two generals and lead his troops to attack us. Establishing a queen is a good excuse for Duke Qin to send troops. He will not let go of this opportunity. At the same time, since Zang Ba has left, his old troops will definitely feel dissatisfied. If Duke Qin leads troops to conquer, These people will definitely be willing to serve as internal support, and at that time, we don’t even need Qin Gong’s army to kill us, and we may be killed by these desperadoes.”

When Cao Pi heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat, and after a while he sighed leisurely and said: "What you said, Zhong Da, is exactly what I am worried about, and I am also thinking about how to get rid of these Taishan thieves. Lose."

At this time, I only heard Sima Yi say: "But there are tens of thousands of Taishan bandits. It is difficult to get rid of them in a hurry, and they may even cause turmoil. I have a plan. We can not only get rid of the Taishan bandits, but also use them to launch attacks." Expand the territory and obtain a ten thousand-year inheritance for the lord."

"Oh? I don't know what clever plan Zhongda has?" Cao Pi was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to Sima Yi, "Please advise."

Sima Yi dared not, and then said: "My lord, you should know that with the strength of our army, even if all the Taishan bandits are killed, we are still no match for Duke Qin. To be honest, we are just trying to survive now. Because of this, the old protagonist died of depression. Yi has a plan to completely get rid of Qin Gong's shadow, which is to lead the army to conquer the Japanese country. After investigation over the years, Xianguan found out that the Japanese country is currently fighting a civil war. We have arrived. After that, we will use gentle methods to win over one group and attack another group, and then supplement it with the ingenuity of military art and the power of sharp weapons. Then the Japanese country will not have to worry about being pacified. The Japanese country covers thousands of miles, and we can definitely develop there. If the Han Dynasty is strong , we only need to watch with cold eyes. Once there is unrest, we can take advantage of the situation and lead the army to counterattack and seize the Han Dynasty. Now these Taishan bandits are troublesome in Xuzhou. It is better for the lord to assign them to Xiaguan, and Xiaguan will lead these people to conquer the Japanese. When they travel across the ocean, they won’t have any dissent, and they can help us expand our territory, so why not do it?”

"Huh? That's a good idea." When Cao Pi heard this, his eyes lit up immediately. It could not only get rid of his confidant's serious troubles, but also help him expand his territory. If he couldn't support himself on the mainland, he could still run away. Going to the Wa country to take refuge, maybe one day there will be civil strife in the Central Plains, and I or my descendants will be able to kill them back.

But then Cao Pi thought of another thing, frowned and said, "But in this way, once Qin Gong led the army to attack, wouldn't we be even more powerless to stop it? I am relying on Zhongda to help me defend against the enemy, and I can't leave for a while. , once you leave, I really don't know how to resist Liu He's invasion."

Sima Yi smiled and said: "This matter is actually quite simple. Although the emperor abolished the empress, it was the emperor's will after all. As long as the emperor explained it clearly to him, he would have no excuses. Another point is that now that Liu Hexin has annexed Jiangdong, The prestige has increased greatly, so it is urgent to establish his prestige through war, but there are other ways to establish his prestige. The lord can protect him as a prince to the emperor, or even add Jiuxi. Thanks to the love of the lord, if there is no major change, it will not be easy to send troops to attack within a few years. And in the past few years, if we go well, we will be able to take down the Wa country, even if we can’t take it down , and will definitely get more than half of their land, and at that time, if Duke Qin insists on invading, the lord can go to the Wa Kingdom to become king and hegemony."

"Okay, it's decided, Zhongda. If one day in the future, you will be my prime minister." Seeing that Sima Yi had such a good idea, Cao Pi immediately made the decision and decided to appoint Sima Yi as the general to conquer the east, leading [-] soldiers. The army went out to conquer Japan.At the same time, in order to appease Liu He's emotions, he promoted Qin Gong Liu He to the title of King of Qin, opened a mansion, and added Jiuxi.
